VietJet has 'very big plans' with Emirates: VP commercial

VietJet Air VP commercial Jay L Lingeswara, speaking at Routes Asia 2025, stated (27-Mar-2025) the airline has "very big plans" with Emirates, related to expansion into Europe and beyond. Mr Lingeswara said 2025 will be "an exciting year" and VietJet aims to expand to Europe and the US, subject to aircraft availability, capability and operating economics. As previously reported by CAPA, VietJet and Emirates announced a cooperation MoU in late Oct-2024.

Background ✨

VietJet Air experienced significant business growth in 2024, attributed to increased international travel demand and fleet expansion, with Australia being crucial to its strategy1. The airline received two A321neo aircraft in late 2024 and added four wet leased aircraft in early 2025 to meet high travel demand2. In late 2024, VietJet and Emirates signed an MoU to enhance connectivity between the UAE and Vietnam and expand VietJet's global presence3.
